A hunting cry? Ho no! (5)
I believe the answer is:
tally
This could be a double definition.
'a hunting' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'cry? ho no' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tally that I've seen before include "List" , "Agree, add up" , "Record; current score" , "Count up; match" , "Record; agree" .)
